Chandigarh, November 6: Punjab Cooperation Minister Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa on Wednesday gave credit to Navjot Singh Sidhu for the opening of Kartarpur Sahib corridor.
He, however, regretted that Sidhu did not attend the session.
Randhawa also offered to take Sidhu along to Pakistan as part of the jatha, to thank the Pakistani government for opening of the corridor.Randhawa was speaking during the special commemorative session of the Punjab Vidhan Sabha, which was held to mark the 550th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak.
Reacting to this, Punjab Congress president Sunil Jakhar said that the contribution of each person in the setting up of the corridor cannot be ignored, but the credit for this goes to Baba Nanak.
He said , “I agree that Sidhu was instrumental in getting the project through and his contribution cannot be ignored. However, Gen Bajwa had broken the news to Sidhu before Imran Khan was sworn in as Pakistan PM. So it’s clearly a game plan of Pakistan Army, and we need to be wary,” he said.
He also cautioned that the videos of certain Sikh separatists being released today from Pakistan proved that the apprehensions of Capt Amarinder Singh on the motives of Pakistan had proven to be true.
